Quotes 

• Kate : I think that liking them is much more important than loving them, actually. Love is easy to fall into. Liking is much harder. Think of your wedding as a driving test. You take it, you pass, and then you really start to learn how to drive. Or you crash.

• Kate : It's easy to say "I love you" while you're rolling around on expensive sheets. It's so much harder when they need washing.

• Kate : You know I'm twice your age.

  Jean-Baptiste Durain : What can I say? I like older women.

  Kate : Why lie on your profile?

  Jean-Baptiste Durain : I want women to see me as a mature man. Otherwise, I feel like a total cliche, you know? Young, rich, handsome, with a speedboat... So terribly predictable.

• Kate : Look, we're just a disgruntled employee and his pushy wife who want back what's theirs.

  Richard : You didn't say ex-wife.

• Richard : Well, don't you feel anything, Kate?

  Kate : Yes, fear.

• Kate : It takes two, you know, to totally ruin a marriage, and I played my part.

• Kate : [to her daughter]  Always wash your jeans inside out.

• Richard : [asking about her teaching job]  What is the job like?

  Kate : Underpaid.

  Richard : What are the students like?

  Kate : Undermotivated.
